THANKS for replying ... anybody else who can help, please don't be put off !!!BTW ... it's a nice fairly short & relativey easy game (a few stucknesses as always!).Here's the problem ..............

I finished this a few months ago ... as far as I remember without any serious problem. Now my wife is playing it (and nearly finished) but is completely stuck near the end and I can't remember to help.

I don't want to give the game away so I'll try to be careful.

Very close to the end it seems (and the walkthru backs this up) that you need a cheese chest (whatever that may be!) --- but she hasn't GOT a cheese chest or any cheese.

PLEASE *** H E L P *** !

If you know where you can find a cheese chest or even some cheese anywhere along the (fairly short) route[s] ... please let us know ASAP.

Sorry Len...I have looked at a couple of W/T with no luck...I don't remember any Cheese..but then it's been a long time since I played the game! I wonder if the original game is different than the "freeware"?? The Spoiler.com has a couple of w/t but I didn't see any mention of cheese.. What is the "Calendra"? that's the only thing I saw in the w/t that I didn't remember...Glynn

I posted this on ½ dozen Sites and I think you were the only ones to react.

Just now, I got the answer from somebody called Jason on Mr. Bill's and my wife finished the game with no trouble.

You're right. There are several walkthrus for "Zak McKracken" proper & also a UHS-File."The New Adventures of Zak McKracken" is however a completely different game (AFAIK using the same character & possibly format) made using AGS and distributed Freeware. I'm almost certain that there is just the one walkthru for that and it bears no resemblance to the original "Zak" game.

Oh my....do I feel dumb! I didn't play the "free" Zak...I just played the original that came out a long time ago...I thought this one was the same, no wonder I couldn't remember the "cheese" Well...I just played a little of this one, looked like what I remembered from the original game...I am glad you found someone with an ans...
